FYI: Can't remember employment history fully?

[Kimble]

I already posted this in another thread, but to serve as a FYI for anyone who missed that post, if you have trouble remembering your full employment history exactly (which if you had a different summer job while in school- like me in college), you can gain this information by one of two means:

1) Social Security Administration- Here the link to the page where you can gain this information from the SSA: Click Here.

2) State Department of Labor/Department of Industrial Relations- Another means is to contact your state labor agency (usually called Department of Labor or Department of Industrial Relations). They can provide the same information, and may get it to you quicker than the federal SSA, but keep in mind that they'll have info for their respective state. If you've worked in more than one state, go with SSA.

Hope this helps, and remember: keep copies of the information you receive, as you'll need it for any future LE applications you fill out.

Sticky this.. its good information to know.

One thing about the SSA employment history is that it will only give you the years that you were employed with each employer, not the month/day, so you may have to estimate if you aren't sure. I did a 10 year employment history and it ran me about $35 and took a little more than a month to arrive, so don't put this off until the last minute.

If you have your W2's handy, that'll have the information you need. It's a good idea to keep those...

Man, this would have been incredibly helpful about 6 weeks ago!:rolleyes:

Oh well. Yeah, I second the idea of making this a sticky. Good info.

Great tip. Has anyone tried doing this in the past? What was the turnaround time like?

I agree: this should definitely be a sticky.

Excellent post ROS!

CAS-

1.) Welcome to the Forum.

2.) Don't type in all CAPITAL LETTERS, it's considered to be rude.

3.) Cronopoulos is not a police officer, nor is he generally well thought of here (the large red bar next to his name is negative reputation).

Feel free to intorduce yourself in the Rap Sheets area, then re-post your question in an new thread so more people will see it.

Good Luck-

Citicop.

Do they really care about the salary or wage part and supervisor name???

If they as for it, then YES they care about it. If you leave it out expect your application to be left out for being considered further.
